Is everyone aware of the General Motors streetcar conspiracy? In the mid-20th century, auto and oil interests bought up electric streetcar systems across the US and systematically replaced them with bus routes and paved roads, funneling commuters toward private cars.

I hope James Carville is mad right now

"Garage revivalists have 'projected a certain idealism onto the original bands', but ? and the Mysterians came as close as anyone to that ideal: young and unpolished, the DIY product of a hyper-local music community, yet full of wide-eyed pop ambition."

So the bike (and pedestrian) lane on the Gordie Howe bridge opens tomorrow and there’s a dude sitting next to the entrance to the path in a camp chair waiting to be the first one to use it going from the US to Canada

At least a few people who listen to this report are going to look into becoming couriers themselves — bringing mifepristone and misoprostol to the U.S. for distribution to states where abortion has been criminalized. Highly recommend (and there’s a transcript, for the podcast-averse):

Rural Michigan election day report: What the heck? Our polling place was bustling. For a primary. Saw my library craft ladies. Saw a couple young kids left in an extended cab truck. Good "I voted" sticker collection. And a thank you candy dish with real (aka: Reese's) candy. 🇺🇸🗳️

I swear I have NEVER seen this many people out to vote for a Midterm PRIMARY. The parking lot was full, there was a LINE in my little Detroit precinct. The last time I saw this was during the 2024 presidential election

Maybe newspapers don't have to do arrest blotters for concerts. Maybe that could happen in the world where people are allowed to sell ponchos wherever they want.

Come now, @scholten.house.gov — what do you mean by “un-American?” Be specific. Because everything I’ve seen, Abdul El-Sayed gets to the heart of what it means to be American, working to protect democracy, expand access to healthcare, and generally serve our communities.

this is really, really bad, and Spokane is ... not exactly on the national radar. I know there are infinite people and places that need help, and everyone's resources are finite, but some options if you are so inclined:
